Severe Anxiety & Depression

I was on Belviq fir approx 3 weeks. I felt as though I was having bipolar episodes. Manic phases. On Thanksgiving day I decided enough! I stopped the belviq. I had been on Zoloft for 2-3 years & weaned off to take belviq. My doctor was very against me starting belviq but I badgered him until he agreed to let me try it. I regret it. Since coming off belviq & recently starting the Zoloft again, I now have constant anxiety with depression. I'm hoping Zoloft will start helping soon, it's only been 1 week back on. I've lost 5lbs exercising with beach body products & eating healthier. I will never try a weight loss pill again. My life is a mess right now.

Hello, Abby! How are you feeling? Have your symptoms improved, yet?

Most weight loss medications work as stimulants, even if they aren't actually in that drug class, but that's how they suppress appetite to aid in weight loss. Other side effects tend to include headache, insomnia, nervousness and dry mouth.

It may take 4 to 5 weeks for the Zoloft to start working for you, again.

Have you informed your prescriber?
